Right now, there are 10 million unfilled jobs in the US, not because there aren't people to take them but because people don't want them and can't afford to live off them. Businesses and the economy are suffering. Fixing this requires a good jobs strategy in which workers' pay, benefits and dignity are preserved while profits remain. After five years studying the adoption of good jobs, Zeynep Ton sees what has held companies back from implementing good jobs: leadership. Whether it's getting investors and boards bought in, or how to lead the operational change, leaders haven't yet built the internal conviction to take a stand, even ones who want to do Good Jobs. This book provides their leadership manual for choosing excellence and providing good jobs that offer people a living wage, dignity, and opportunities for growth. It's the right thing to do and the Right thing to do.
